very cool and interesting video about a famous 9000yo burial site youtu.be/3Oh6bC4t7q8?...

The Prairieland 8 were sentenced to a combined 450 years in prison today. With every Democratic Socialist win there are hundreds of cases against Antifascist protestors that are flying under the radar. We must fight for pardons in these baseless cases against our Anarchist and Antifascist siblings.

Now that im on an energy rant. A real barrier to large scale human transit through space is dealing with the heat problem at scale. Bc humans and the things we use all create heat, and it has to go somewhere. For short voyages with limited crew its not an issue. But 100 people for 1, 2, 3 years?

Like I cant stress enough how most of our best methods for cooling things down rely on moving some cold fluid over something and then dissipating the heat the fluid absorbs into the environment. But its space. What fucking environment??

Okay like, for real tho. Also, it just wouldn't be. Issue with space is that the only form of cooling with exists sustainably is radiative (and energy losses from matter jiggling ofc). Its not "cold" in space ie the medium doesnt contain much matter to transfer heat through. So no cooling.

I fear that perhaps, as a society, we have become too internal without wisdom from it and too external without knowledge from it. We claim we are too self aware, as though ruthless self criticism is awareness instead of another form of delusion. And touch upon the world yet through artifice.

“Palantir tracks everyone. So we built a site that tracks Palantir. They've been watching us. Now we can watch them. Contracts. Lawsuits. Executive pay. Global footprint. Lobbying activity. Media strategies. All in one place.”

if you're answer to the heterosexual regime is to flat out refuse the premise of the question, you are for sure queer

happy pride to asexuals who are worried they're not allowed to call themselves queer. yes you are, get your flag and get out there

happy pride to queer and trans kids. it's been a rough time for all of us but for you especially, as always. but no matter how bleak things are right now, we will not let go of your hand. you will be free. we will see the end of this together.

Genuinely the video that cracked my egg so thats dope!

Neither the ruling class nor the wars that they engender can offer anything that is worth trading your life for. Don't let them make you into another Memorial Day statistic. If you or your loved ones are currently serving in the US military, please contact the GI Rights Hotline at 1-877-447-4487.

Cooperatives and labor unions can work together to form a more democratic economy. Abundance Food Co-op (Rochester, New York) is a unionized community-owned cooperative. It's a business where both the community and the workers have a voice.

Britt is my friend and WILL DIE if forced outside. They got some traction but they need REAL, CONTINUED support to SURVIVE. The work under fascism is keeping people alive. Keeping vulnerable people alive. Britt deserves to live. Please help them. Please. linktr.ee/hiitsbritt

Yo Anita Sarkeesian was a consultant for Slay the Spire 2? I knew i liked that game Go off queen.

What if I streamed games and talked one piece, politics and random shit

Israel is still holding all of the Palestinians in Gaza hostage. The settlers also engage in targeted, terrorist violence towards Palestinians in the West Bank. And now they're doing the same to Lebanon. Never lose sight of what kind of people makes up Israeli society.

The inheritance of will or the will of dreams, has to be my favorite theme in One Piece. The way that characters can die without being killed, and can be killed without dying, because a person dies when they are forgotten, when their dreams dies, not their body. That makes me genuinely tear up.

In conclusion, One Piece is the greatest story of our time and if your complaint is that its "too long" you're depriving yourself of genuine whimsy, joy, emotional depth, incredible symbolism, and relevant themes of what it means to be free for no reason. I will take no counterarguments I LOVE it.

As well, Luffy's simplicity is his depth. There is this part that stuck with me very young that I understood about people from Luffy. Only monsters need a reason to be kind. Kindness is its own reason, it is its own justification, it is its means and ends.

Another thing to me is that, despite how long One Piece is, reading it, i genuinely cant imagine a single arc it didnt need. Every arc builds up essential themes and world building. Even silly arcs have their necessity, like the Davy Back Fight planting the seeds of Davy D. Jones.

OMG another dichotomy! Blackbeard is the man with the ability to eat 3 devil fruits, implying he has 3 souls. But he is a soulless man. 3 hearts but no soul. Vs Luffy, the man who's true awakening is the Sun God Nika, who's calling card is literally the heart beat drums of liberation.

All the hype around the recent One Piece episodes is so good bc, as a long time reader who grew up taking in the emotional beats one week at a time for 22 years, I know that the World Government is NOT the final boss. Like somehow, the World Government is not Luffy's perfect foil. Blackbeard is.

I would like to make an official announcement. I am going to block the Strait of Hormuz.

Good afternoon - We are reporting on Trans Pride Scotland today. The march begins at the Scottish Parliament in a few minutes (at 12:30) - so far, around 100-200 people have turned up for Trans Pride Scotland.

Today I learned acetylene is made with water and calcium carbide. Thats super cool

okay so AI is absolutely cratering imminently and I need all of you to PROMISE me you won't take the high road, and will laugh and rub it in their faces as much as possible. I need you to laugh and go 'WE TOLD YOU SO, BITCH" at every opportunity, PLEASE be extremely mean and ruthless

Putting ICE in airports is another effort to normalize surveillance and ethnic cleansing. But it's a risk for the Trump administration. If ICE turn airports into battlegrounds the way they did the streets of the Twin Cities, the ensuing chaos will not benefit them. crimethinc.com/escalation2026

A good pairing to this fabulous video would be the 5 video by just an absolutely amazing ally who worked to overcome his own biases and advocate for us: @jasperdasper.bsky.social The video is called "Debunking Transphobia" on YT. It makes a great companion to Abigail Thorn's video.

Those of you traveling to airports in the coming weeks, if ICE agents are unmasked, please use your phones and take pictures of them. I will be.

Please keep spreading this.

Cesar Chavez is accused of sexually assaulting fellow labor rights icon and United Farm Workers co-founder Dolores Huerta. Huerta discussed for the first time at length about her new public disclosures in an exclusive interview with Latino USA host Maria Hinojosa, who spoke with Democracy Now!

I dont say this often (bc I think politicians are fundamentally & structurally incapable of saving us) but voting for Kat Abughazaleh is a good idea

Hi, I work in the foster youth/group home system. The way the system treats youth is abhorrent. There is a reason they are so jaded. Its bc they are treated as a paycheck. Group Homes are paid per bed they fill so they have incentive to keep them as long as possible. Foster youth are stolen from.

Gavin Newsom vetoed a 2023 bill that would have stopped the unscrupulous practice of county governments using foster children's benefit checks (e.g. social security survivor benefits) to reimburse themselves. The bill was sponsored by @ib2real.bsky.social, himself a former foster child.

It's not enough to prevent hormonal transition, they want to enforce gender stereotypes now, claiming they are divinely ordained despite the fact that the bulk of them come from an idealized version of the 1950s and are ridiculously ahistorical even within the limited western context.

Trans healthcare needs to be led by trans people, to be accountable to trans communities and trans youth. Folks who don't believe in the existence of a trans child cannot continue to hold the reins of healthcare policy and governance. This is where we start.

Hey Im really bad at self-promoting but The Extended Universe is out in a month and a half and if you havent pre-ordered it yet and want to support my work this is a really good way to do it!

Today you should send love to your trans friends. Tomorrow, too. Maybe every day for a while.
